Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Toscana IGT 2013

【意大利小鮮肉 “西施小教堂” Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 】

Tenuta San Guido酒莊坐落於意大利Tuscany的Bolgheri產區，是整個「Super Tuscan」運動的發源地與圖騰級酒莊。酒莊旗艦酒款西施佳雅（Sassicaia）的名字源自方言「佈滿石頭的土地」。從1948年起，酒莊就開始釀造這款酒，但直到1971年，i酒莊才正式發布1968年份Sassicaia，隨即在1978年英國Decanter舉辦的「傑出波爾多式葡萄酒」盲品會上擊敗了來自11國的33款頂級紅酒，一舉成名。如今，Sassicaia不僅是意大利最受推崇的葡萄酒之一，更享有獨一無二的殊榮——意大利唯一擁有專屬DOC產區認證的單一酒（Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC），堪稱意大利酒王。

Guidalberto於2000年首次推出，是酒莊的第二款酒，同樣屬於 ”Super Tuscany” 派別， 採用Cabernet Sauvignon同Merlot混釀。Guidalberto 充滿紅苺及梅子的香氣，口感圓潤而且強勁，酒體中等至飽滿，單寧豐富卻如絲絨般柔順，酸度鮮活明亮，餘韻優雅綿長。通常發布後5-7年即可進入適飲期，但同樣具備10-15年甚至更長的陳年潛力。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

Beautiful and bold, the 2013 Guidalberto is one of the best editions of this wine ever made. It shows great energy and momentum with dark fruit, spice, tobacco and black truffle that come together with impeccable unity. I love the heft and power that supports this wine at the back. Its tannic structure is firm but velvety and will continue to soften as the wine evolves over the next few years. I would suggest holding onto this bottle for three to four more years before popping the cork.
